Need to find the heavy duty plastic drain line for my Aprilaire model 600.
You can purchase the tubing at most hardware stores or any HVAC supply store. They carry the vinyl plastic tubing and pvc pipe for drain lines.
SOURCE: My Aprilaire new water pad
Hello,All the pads have a protectant(white) coating because the pad is aluminum and would rot out fairly quickly from getting wet.The slime is bacteria(fungus) not from the coating that forms from stagnant (sitting) water.Make sure the unit is draining out dry after each cycle.With the pad out pour vinegar OR bleach & water (10:1) to kill the mold in the drain pipe.Do not clean the pad at all ,it gets replaced.They sell an inexpensive wet floor alarm at the store that makes noise when wet.
SOURCE: Aprilaire 600 - change water panel light stays on
Turn the control knob to the test/reset position untill the change water panel light blinks to reset the change panel timer. Make shure the furnace is running calling for heat.Turn control knob to prior setting after resetting timer. Hope this helps.

Sorry to read about your problem, I hope this helps you out.
you must have a defective water inlet valve, and its letting water in, just a little.. it maybe dirt in the valve, clogging it.

Mold can really cause problems with humidifiers-
They do need to be serviced, cleaned up, and something like weak bleach used to kill mold spores, -- get it all tidy and clean!
Were you able to clean out the drain line?-- and is it draining now?
And is the float valve shutting off the water flow, before it reaches the overflow drain pipe?
Another concern would be the soaking pad-- Has it been changed recently?
Tell us more--

One way of removing the gunk is to disconnect the tubing from the humidifier and use a flexible and thin rod that will fit in the tubing and try to dislodge it, or you can try using a shop vac and see if the suction pressure will remove it. If the tubing is really clogged then sometimes it's better to just replace the vinyl tubing with pvc pipe and drain it to the floor drain, I always prever pvc pipe over vinyl tubing when it comes to drain lines for humidifiers.
